History[edit]
When Homer Simpson helped Mel Gibson with Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, he said that filibuster scene is the biggest problem of all. After Mel Gibson told him that was Jimmy Stewart's favorite, Homer said it was fine for the 1930s, as the country was doing great back then and everyone was into talking. But now, in whatever year this is, the audience wants action and seats with beverage holders, but mainly action. After the premiere, Jimmy Stewart's granddaughter came and slapped them, and threatened to sue them for the bad film.[1]
He played the voice of Mr. Mailman in The Year Santa Got Lost. Homer was watching the show but switched the channel as he thought Jimmy Stewart as a puppet was so wrong.[2]
